Method
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place cake mix {I used French Vanilla, but Yellow and even Spice will work great}, buttermilk and sour cream in a mixing bowl and beat on low to mix. Add eggs, one at a time, until combined. Add butter and extract. Beat until batter has formed and is smooth. Spoon into 12 cupcake liners and set aside.

Place the rest of the cake mix into a small bowl with the cinnamon, butter, pecans and salt. Mix with your hands until streusel clumps form. Spoon a heaping tablespoon of crumbs onto the top of each cup's batter.

Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a tooth pick comes out clean when tested in the center of a cake. *Remember, each oven bakes a little different, so please keep an eye one them.*

These cakes can be served right out of the oven or at room temperature. To finish the cupcakes, spoon a tablespoon of your chunky jam on the top of each and dollop with a little whipped cream.
